TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it ltnoivn'that I, Jonx P. VINSONIIELLER, of the city of Urbana, of the county of Uhampaign, and State of Ohio, have invented a new kind of paint, suitable to either brick; stone, or woodork, which I 'denoniinate Lime Paint, the composition of which is as follows, viz:

First, dissolve one bushel of lime in water, as if for common whitewash; second, add five pounds of any pigment not made of lead, and which has no trace of lead in its composition; third, add five pounds of copperas thoroughly dissolved in either hot or cold water. I

All these ingredients must-he thoroughly mixed. This mixture is then applied to any stone, brick, or wooden surface with a common Whitewash brush. In the case of a Wooden surface, after the coating become dry, it will be necessary to applyiwith a paint-brush a mixture of one gallon of oil with one pint of Japan drying.

Pigments made from lead may he used by first boiling them in a bag and mingling the expressedjuice with the lime and copperas, as in the case of pigments not mode of lead The above colors can be shaded to any degree desirable by n subsequent application with a paint-brush of logivood dissolved in Water. Upon brick and stone the cost of the paint will be but little more than that of common whitewash. The subsequent application of oil and drying in t to about one-third of that of oil painting.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The fixing of the color of any pigment that may be used, by its combination with lime and copneras, as

and for the purpose described;
